About Me
Hello, I'm Knives but a lot of my friends will usually call me Knivy. All I should have to say is that I live in the happiest place on earth (Tijuana!), but that's not all I'm gonna say.

I started playing games at around age 4 and I simply love games....No, really, I'll play pretty much anything: RTS, FPS, RPGs, TPS, Shumps, Puzzle, Rhythm, Sports, etc. Although it's obvious I have and addiction to Rock Band.

I currently play on PC, Wii, PS2, DS and 360, I tell myself I'll get a PSP and a PS3 soon but I keep spending money on things like MAGfest, Miami, PAX , Baltinarp and Cancun.

I'm 24, studying communications and working as data capturer to support my gaming habits =).

[Audiosurf Contest] Week 2 Song. UPDATE:Song Closed
Knivy | 7:38 PM on 03.02.2008 43 comments




Rules of the contest can be found here.

In previous posts I’ve said that I’m open to song recommendations (as long as you provide a link to where to get the song). Only a couple of you sent me something, one of those was Rockvillian with this week’s song. (Yeah, I took RFGO being about Contra this week as a sign).

This week will also be the first restricted one. This week will be Mono characters only (any difficulty is ok).


Remember, you have until Friday night at 10:30 PM PST to post or send me your score pic.

Last week was won by ConradZimmerman and he choose to redeem his point for a game he should have played some time ago.


LATE WEDNESDAY UPDATE




Only a couple of screenshots have been received, remember that there is a reason why I ask for them, besides what I said on that post, so far every weekend since launch has had some sort of server issues, and there's that thing with people that don't have the same username here and on AS.

Next week will have a difficulty restriction, but I won't change anything for this week, It might not be Elite Ironmode, but it isn't that easy to get the highest score.


I think next week should have something calmer than this and last week's songs, maybe something around 200-240 traffic, so send me links to your recommendation through PM, IRC, Steam or Googletalk, you won’t get any points for it, but if I choose it you’ll at least get a head start.

Thanks Knivy!

@adultswim810

Yeah this song'll mess you up, especially near the end when everything turns red and grey and fast. :P

You need to post the pic here, leader board servers haven't been that reliable.

Knives are you disqualified from winning on account of being the host? If not then woo I'm winning.

Oh crap I forgot to consider the other difficulties.

I have a suggestion for next week! Pendulum - Hold Your Colour.

Difficulty, I would suggest Ninja Mono.

What if my Audiosurf account name is different from this (which it is). It's MadDongTannen.

@bbrigg1
Shouldn't be a big deal. Mine is different too. Mine is Dr. LOL. All you need is a screen of the score page. That way it'll show your score and the leaderboard (should you make it on the leaderboard)

@bbrigg
Yeah, post a screencap of your score here, besides settling that account name difference, it also serves as backup in case the leaderboard servers aren't working either when you played or when I check the scores for the last time on friday.

Rockvillain can die in a fire for suggesting a shitty youtube quality medley cover. This song sucks, and those weak tinny drums are gonna drive me nuts if I try to keep playing it =<.

No excuses when there are Contra songs like this and this and this.

Ok just to clear this up, any difficulty is ok but the scores on higher difficulties are consitently lower than the easier ones. Is there going to be any kind of scaling for the difficulties or does the victory go to the best casual score?

@Wedge
Lol, it's only one week, don't let it bother you that much =)

@Aciesethon
For this week the best score wins, regardless of difficulty, as long as it's a mono character. It's already too late to change this week's rules, but for next one I think it will be necessary to limit the difficulty.

This is easily one of my favorite songs to pla yon Audiosurf ever.

could you make a price for how much grey block do you get?

keeping trying..

who wants to play on the easiest difficulty? that's no fun.

Obviously casual mono is the highest scoring.

@K2 - Unfortunately.

Here is what I propose. This is a video game site and any self-respecting video gamer doesn't play anything on the easiest difficulty. I think the easy should stricken from the record. I haven't tried hard, but medium is definitely doable. It's not even easy, either, it's 'casual', which makes it sound like you are playing it halfway paying attention while watching Scrubs or something. I hope most of you share my feelings on this.

Damn, so close.

Close indeed K2 but I'm not giving up without a fight.

For the record I agree with bbrig1, starting from next week of course.

I can't promise you'll like next week's one, since I haven't decided yet =P, but it will be something different.

Did you really think it'd be that easy blinkoff?

I'm making a final reminder in the morning, but just in case it runs late (damn work and homework), if there is one or more guys tied in first place then whoever of them gets a better score in the next higher difficulty (in this case Pro) will be the winner.

If you top my score, I shall become more powerfull than you can possibly imagine. Oh sorry about that, I ran out of arrogant cliches to throw at you.

Anyway blinkoff you are dethroned, long live Aciesethon his new age of prosperity.

That was a pretty fierce battle blinkoff, you should be proud of yourself and getting ready for next week's one.

Well played blinkoff, I can't help but get the impression you would have topped my score once again had there been another day.
